A theory

 I don't pretend to any special knowledge, but I woke up last night with one of those insights that make further sleep impossible.  Trump called Hamas "smart."

Eight years into this national nightmare (not counting the decades he was a localized infection for New Yorkers) I know what Trump means when he calls someone or something "smart" -- either they praised him or they paid him.  I have not heard Hamas praise him.

I believe as fervently as I believe anything that Hamas paid him well for intel about Israeli defense.  The intel he shared with Lavrov for nothing (if installing him in the White House is nothing.)  


That's probably it under Kislyak's arm.  Subtle.

How did Hamas disable the alarms at the Gaza fence?  A woman who lives nearby said the alarms go off "if a donkey bumps into it."  That Saturday morning there wasn't a sound until the shooting started.  Somebody had the schematics and knew just where to strike, and how. 

Why would Trump sell out Israel?  For money, the core of his existence.  To get revenge on Bibi for the phone call to Biden.  And because he just doesn't like Jews, whose "disloyalty" (to him) he can't stop griping about.  Israeli Jews, American Jews, Brazilian Jews, antisemites don't make distinctions.  


Is there a bottom to Trump's depravity?  I haven't seen one.  Money isn't even the determining factor, which is why a lot of random Australians know more about our nuclear Navy than the average American.  He's the pre-Copernican earth around which the universe revolves.  The closest thing he has to a human relationship is the one with Ivanka, the pubescent girl he was proud to be photographed while groping.  Then he lost her to a Jew.  It may be what Orson Welles called "dollar-book Freud" but that doesn't mean it's not accurate.

If you want to understand Trump, go to Hitler and take the elevator down.  Hitler had a couple of human traits.  He loved dogs and music.  He would never describe the German war dead as "losers" and "suckers."  That's about it, but it's more than Trump has.  

The war in Israel has much greater potential to become global than the invasion of Ukraine, to which no US carrier groups have been dispatched.  Putin's agents in Congress and the media carry his water daily, while only Rep. Tlaib and a few Harvard students have defied the lightning to remind us that Palestinians have real grievances.  Trump is already the worst criminal in American history, so it's hard to guess how much worse things could get.

Just my opinion.  I could be wrong.  I hope our creaking machinery of justice is equal to the task of neutralizing the monster.  If not, we are finished.

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Going out of business

 With polls sounding a death knell and red-hats leaving his rallies like they left the oven on, Trump has dimly seen his future.  That's why Trumpworld is holding a sale on all Bibles, gold sneakers (pre- and post-assassination styles), Victory47 cologne ("My eyes!  My eyes!") and the limited-edition Trump diapers: Get a jump on your Christmas shopping and remember who made it possible to say "Merry Christmas" again with a fabulous  Trump Victory Tourbillon watch,  only $100,000.  Three colors, 122 diamonds, only 147 available.  Or a shoddier version for $499 if you're impoverished by Bidenomics.  Profits will not go to the campaign, the website says, and when has Trump ever lied? "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself," said Mark Twain, who died in 1910, so maybe it's always been this way.   Tommy Tuberville,  football's worst mistake, thinks Kamala Harris should drop out of the...

Full disclosure

 With Trump and his silk pajamas in recess, the political story of the day must be  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,  sharing the story that a worm crawled into his brain, ate some of it and died.  The New York Times says it obtained a deposition from his 2012 divorce case and came across this nugget.  At the time of the parasite's discovery, doctors said he also had mercury poisoning, probably from eating a lot of fish.  In the deposition Kennedy says, "I have short-term memory loss and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me."  At least he doesn't blame the worm on vaccines.  Even before his stalking horse earned the nickname Worm Brain, things were going Trump's way.  His boutique judge  Aileen Cannon  postponed indefinitely the stolen documents case that mean old Jack Smith is waiting to present because she has to study eight pending motions from the defense and she's just stumped by their  "novel and difficult questions." ...
